Slabs can be one piece or joined, depending on the width of the top and availability of slabs. Generally, single slabs can be used for tops up to around 600mm. Joined slabs are required for wider tops, and in this case the slabs are from the same tree with matching grain. Wide one piece slabs, up to around 1200mm, can be  used for speciality jobs, but the slabs are more expensive.

We generally recommend tops 40mm thick, as they create the greatest feature and are most structurally sound.

Prices are shown for our common timbers, but other timbers are available if required. 

Here are some examples of prices for a range of tops

Making Quality Bench tops

NE Timber Benchtops specialises in high quality solid timber bench tops, custom made to the requirements of each client. Tops are hand-crafted in a process that transforms rough sawn timber to a beautifully finished top with unique grain features. We do not stock pre-made tops.

Tops are manufactured from either rough sawn boards or milled slabs. Special tops with only one join can be made using two slabs where the grain is ‘book matched’

The boards or slabs are dressed and thicknessed, and glued together to produce the desired width. The tops start taking shape in the clamping racks  while the glue dries.

Each top requires a number of sanding processes before it is ready for finishing. A great deal of work is involved in cleaning out and filling gum veins and any blemishes.

Most tops are sealed with a two-component polyurethane, which is very durable and water resistant. Six or eight coats could be applied to achieve the appropriate quality finish.
